F.A.Q.
Who? Retired sound engineer who loves music from the 60's & early 70's.
What? My aim is to make rare stuff publicly available again with the best possible sound quality.
My magnum opus for this year. I think I’ll be going on a hiatus for a couple months again now, because I gotta work up some new things that are in line with the quality of my previous offerings, and those projects just don’t finish themselves in a couple days, y’know. Thank you for commenting and showing your appreciation.
Also, don’t forget to thank fishanthrope for going the extra mile to deliver the absolute best artwork. Thanks dude!
Thanks Prof there's always a gap, sometimes many months between projects but you always come back with a bang and the wait is always worth it. This looks a sensational collection, many tracks I've never heard before. Looking forward to hearing this, all the best, enjoy your break. ps cheers fishanthrope

Prof. you did it again!!! And thanks to fishanthrope for the great artwork. Your efforts do not go unnoticed. My ears are smiling....thanks. Thank you for Mayall and the Doors & Sabbath singles too.
I am enjoying this very much! Thank you for your hard work and attention to detail. I always look forward to your next surprise. Are there any other good MONO project websites out there to explore?
Now, that's what I call a another real labour of love from your end. I just hope that after your well-deserved recovery youll find it in your heart and fell like tackling another collector's monster. Thanks a million for this thingy here! Th:-)mas
FAntastic. Great job, really. I was lucky enough to get an original mono-vinyl back in 72. I was young and well... a few years later the vinyl was rather worn. So I bought another one. I didn't pay attention at first but when the new one got its first spin I noticed the difference. I always played the old worn record afterwards. When I switched to CD in the early nineties I digitalized my old record and always waited for a true mono-edition to emerge on CD. Never did. Until now. So hats off. Thanks a lot. Mike from Germany. p.s.: I always waited for a complete chronological Mayall-box. The man would deserve the honour but I guess that won't ever happen. So we'll have to collect the recordings from dozens of different cds and records for all future. p.p.s.: I saw Mayall some four weeks ago. Of course he lost some of his instrumental abilities but his stage presence is still enormous. Great musician.
When I was a kid my parents and their friends openly said "Why are all these young white British guys doing such a good job with American Blues?" Thanks so much for letting me consider that questions again!
I am listening to this as I toil away on weekend work with the sun shining outside. The joy in the Bluesbreakers' music makes it a lot more bearable! Thank you: it's a pleasure to have discovered your site.
Hello again Professor...I don't know if it was you or something in the air...but today the link is working...anyway, thanks from the heart...looking forward to hearing this singles right now...
Excellent work (needle drop) at a high level. I would love to have this work in wav or lossless format. At the moment listening to mp3 that does not deliver all the quality of this wonderful work. Thank you very much.
Prof, I bought the enormous box set "The First Generation 1965 - 1974" recently so naturally I had go back and revisit to your compilation. I really don't understand why Madfish didn't add a disc of the mono singles as well as the mono mixes of "A Hard Road" & "Crusade" to make this chapter of John's career as complete as possible but I'm sure they have their reasons (no access to masters, etc). But let me thank you (for the first time ... must've been to shy to write back in 2018 when I first discovered your site) for your work on your compilation of John's singles. The mono versions have such a nice "punch" to them (like all singles should be).
Prof, sincerely appreciated. The "compare and contrast" with First Generation box set is instructive. Your calling this restoration a magnum opus is spot on.
First time I heard Telephone Blues and I'm Your Witchdoctor was on a cassette back in the late 80s called White Boy Blues. I also have the First Gen box. Thank you for this great collection, PS. Rest in peace, John.

ReplyDeleteSilvio
Thanks for this. I downloaded Part 2 OK, but there seems to be a problem with Part 1.
ReplyDeleteHi Prof. Great Mayall collection. What can you tell us about the mono mix of " A Hard Road" LP. Dedicated mono or fold down?
ReplyDeleteTrue mono and far superior to the stereo.
ReplyDeleteWill that be on your adgenda one of these days?

ReplyDeleteExcellent work (needle drop) at a high level. I would love to have this work in wav or lossless format. At the moment listening to mp3 that does not deliver all the quality of this wonderful work. Thank you very much.
You are joking, right?

ReplyDeleteA real gem, thanks for all the hard work!

ReplyDeleteI found this looking for some Mayall songs to hear, I will keep my ears open. A good trip to Mr. Mayall
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot!
ReplyDeleteCheers Prof! Downloading on the sad occasion of John's passing. RIP.
ReplyDeleteProf, sincerely appreciated. The "compare and contrast" with First Generation box set is instructive. Your calling this restoration a magnum opus is spot on.
ReplyDeleteEh, sounds a bit pompous to me now 😬 PS
DeleteMany thanks sir.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! My first date with my wife was at the Bluesbreakers reunion in 1982 in Philly. A nice tribute to a great musician!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to listening to this. I first heard Mayall on late-night mono radio when in my late teens so this should be a trip. Many thanks!
ReplyDeleteBrian
Thank you, Prof. Appreciate your dedication to making these. This era from Mayall changed music.
ReplyDeleteFirst time I heard Telephone Blues and I'm Your Witchdoctor was on a cassette back in the late 80s called White Boy Blues. I also have the First Gen box. Thank you for this great collection, PS. Rest in peace, John.
